Description
1 New York Times bestseller and arguably the
best business narrative ever written, Barbarians
at the Gate is the classic account of the fall of
RJR Nabisco at the hands of a buyout from
investment firm KKR.A book that stormed both
the bestseller list and the public imagination, a
book that created a genre of its own, and a book
that gets at the heart of Wall Street and the
'80s culture it helped define,Barbarians at
the Gate is a modern classicâa masterpiece of
investigatory journalism and a rollicking book of
corporate derring-do and financial
swordsmanship.The fight to control RJR
Nabisco during October and November of 1988 was
more than just the largest takeover in Wall
Street history. Marked by brazen displays of ego
not seen in American business for decades,
it became the high point of a new gilded age and
its repercussions are still being felt. The tale
remains the ultimate story of greed and gloryâa
story and a cast of characters that determined
the course of global business and redefined
how deals would be done and fortunes made in the
decades to come.Barbarians at the Gate is the
gripping account of these two frenzied months, of
deal makers and publicity flaks, of an old-line
industrial powerhouse (home of such familiar
products a Oreos and Camels) that became the
victim of the ruthless and rapacious style of
finance in the 1980s. As reporters for The Wall
Street Journal, Burrough and Helyar had
extensive access to all the characters in this
drama. They take the reader behind the scenes at
strategy meetings and society dinners, into
boardrooms and bedrooms, providing an
unprecedentedly detailed look at how financial
operations at the highest levels are conducted
but also a richly textured social history of
wealth at the twilight of the Reagan era.At
the center of the huge power struggle is RJR
Nabisco's president,
6
the high-living Ross Johnson. It's his secret
plan to buy out the company that sets the frenzy
in motion, attracting the country's leading
takeover players Henry Kravis, the legendary
leveraged-buyout king of investment firm KKR,
whose entry into the fray sets off an acquisitive
commotion Peter Cohen, CEO of Shearson Lehman
Hutton and Johnson's partner, who needs a victory
to propel his company to an unchallenged leadershi
p in the lucrative mergers and acquisitions field
the fiercely independent Ted Forstmann, motivated
as much by honor as by his rage at the corruption
he sees taking over the business he cherishes Jim
Maher and his ragtag team, struggling to regain
credibility for the decimated ranks at
First Boston and an army of desperate bankers,
lawyers, and accountants, all drawn inexorably to
the greatest prize of their careersâand one of
the greatest prizes in the history of American
business.Written with the bravado of a novel
and researched with the diligence of a sweeping
cultural history, Barbarians at the Gate is
present at the front line of every battle of the
campaign. Here is the unforgettable story of
that takeover in all its brutality. In a new
afterword specially commissioned for the story's
20th anniversary, Burrough and Helyar return to
visit the heroes and villains of this epic
story, tracing the fallout of the deal, charting
the subsequent success and failure of those
involved, and addressing the incredible impact
this storyâand the book itselfâmade on the
world.
